Trump’s New National Ranking
As some of you may know, in 2000 C-SPAN created the Presidential Historians Survey which was essentially a list of all the American Presidents ranked best to worst after analyzing several sets of criteria.
According to AL, presidents were ranked from 1-10 on a total of 10 qualities regarding their leadership skills. The 10 qualities were Public Persuasion, Crisis Leadership, Economic Management, Moral Authority, International Relations, Administrative Skills, Relations with Congress, Vision/Setting an Agenda, Pursued Equal Justice for All and Performance Within the Context of the Times.
Every few years the Presidential Historians Survey is reassessed to add in new presidents. Now the new list has former President Donald Trump ranked as the 41st best president out of a total of 44 presidents.
